Scotland hasn't been independent for over 300 years. I can't think of any other country which has become separate after such a long time. Most of the European nations who have become independent in recent times where part of 'artifical' nations created in the war-torn 20th century. Yugoslavia, Czechoslovakia etc.

Scotland wanting independence is a bit like Texas wanting independence from the USA. Or Mercia, Wessex, East Anglia and Northumbria wanting to split away from a unified England.

It isn't going to happen.
